West Sussex · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Pulborough, West Sussex
We cover Pulborough for cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report water on the plant room floor
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Pulborough
Our AHU cleans for sites in Pulborough cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and air handling units due a clean after building work, we can help.
Visits to a place like Pulborough are fitted around opening hours. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Pulborough
Air handling units are normally tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
For workplaces around Pulborough station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Around Pulborough, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.

FAQs for Pulborough
Will you come out to Pulborough?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pulborough included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Pulborough after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Pulborough needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with photos where it helps.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
What affects the quote in Pulborough
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Even a site near Pulborough that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
